Wednesday, June 25th, 2008The O’s did their best to blow a 7-1 lead last night at Wrigley, giving up runs in the 7th and 8th to make it a 7-5 game, but luckily they had George Sherrill to shut the door with authority. You know, after loading the bases to put the winning run on first with no [...]
Oh Happy Day: Clinton’s New Characters!
Wednesday, June 25th, 2008The headline here is a bit misleading, as it’s actually the NFL that’s creating and debuting four new Portis characters, but still, as Steinz says, it’s June. Follow the link for bios on all four, video of Rich Eisen speaking with each and a poll giving the people the power to choose which Portis will [...]
Greetings From Port City
Tuesday, June 24th, 2008Apologies for the silence since Blog Show went bye-bye. I’ve been moving from D.C. to Wilmington, so all of our edgy, outsider-y content now comes to you from the great state of North Carolina. What does that mean for you, dear reader? Well, thanks to the interweb and DirecTV, not much. What does that mean [...]
We Are Apparently ‘Edgy Outsiders’
Monday, June 23rd, 2008The mainsteam media continues to totally get blogging. Yesterday, the L.A. Times published a ridiculous article about some make believe evolution that is occurring in blogging. Apparently, sports bloggers are putting on their big boy britches and moving out of their parent’s basement and into some realm of journalist integrity in this post-Buzz Bissinger gone [...]
Putting to Rest the Notion That Bloggers Are Not in Superior Physical Condition
Monday, June 23rd, 2008Last Thursday, we (meaning Sporting News) sent The Sporting Blog’s Spencer Hall (or you might know him as Orson Swindle) to a D-1 training facility in Nashville, Tennessee for two days. If the goal was to show off Spencer’s athletic prowess, then the mission was an epic failure. Luckily, the idea was to completely humiliate [...]
Let the Junkies Listeners Tell You Why We Disapprove of the Junkies
Friday, June 20th, 2008Back in October, we had a much publicized spat, if you will, with The Junkies. And by “much publicized,” I mean that we gave them two fresh faces to make fun of on their radio program for a couple days, and beyond that, no one really gave a shit. We still don’t listen to The [...]
Lady Liberty Loves Every Baseball Team
Friday, June 20th, 2008The Statue of Liberty has become what I despise: One of those douchebags who wears a hat and/or jacket with the logo of every single baseball team on it. (“I just root for good players.”) At this year’s MLB All-Star festivities in NYC — which I’ll be at, no big deal — fans will be [...]
Help Chief Zee Crush Eagles’ Swoop
Friday, June 20th, 2008OK, I’ll bite. I’ll do exactly what Sportsline’s stupid “Most Fierce NFL Mascot Competition” wants me to do, which is draw attention to it. But this is Chief Zee on the line here, a true American hero, so it’s our duty to ensure victory for him. So go vote. Currently, Zee has a commanding 57% [...]
Blog Show No. 53: I Hate Goodbyes
Friday, June 20th, 2008If I wasn’t so rushed, I’d get weepy about this like the last time my dalliance with a blog-based sports broadcast came to an end. Fortunately for you, I’m in the midst of working moving having a baby, so let’s stick to the facts.
What the Comcast SportsNet Mid-Atlantic viewing audience (Hi, Grandma!) was treated to [...]
Lenny Harris Is a Great Hitting Coach
Thursday, June 19th, 2008When the Nats acquired Wily Mo Pena from Boston last year, we we’re thrilled. He had a great nickname — The Hulk — and lived up to it, for the most part, hitting monster home runs somewhat consistently. But this season has been a total disaster for Wily Mo, who has just one homer, a [...]
